Chapter 607: Turns Out He Was Overthinking it
"Mu Yiliang!" he growled her name through gritted teeth.
She dared to zone out while he was questioning her?
"Huh?" Mu Yiliang snapped back to reality, thought for a moment and decided it was unnecessary for him to know about that incident, so she explained, "I flagged down a taxi back. I’m an adult, it’s not like I’d get lost just because you left me on the side of the road. Do I really need to specifically inform you?"
Mu Yiliang raised an eyebrow, "Besides, I don’t think you’d care."
Gu Qingqian felt a breath stuck in his chest!
He glared at her fiercely!
Mu Yiliang sighed, "Young Master Gu, I think we might need to talk... Our current state really isn’t conducive to working... So, how about I move my desk back?"
The man’s gaze deepened!
It seemed to take great effort for him to suppress the rising anger inside him!
This woman was right. He joined the company carrying significant responsibilities. If he didn’t perform well, the board wouldn’t approve of him, and the old man wouldn’t be comfortable handing Fengye to him.
Yet as soon as he entered the company, this woman almost threw him off balance!
She was just a woman, and yet he was so unsteady!
If she could remain composed, why couldn’t he?
Gu Qingqian looked at her coldly. At this moment, he finally realized that perhaps all along he had been imagining things, that this woman... really had no interest in him at all.
Neither infatuation nor desire, in other words, she wanted nothing from him!
This realization, though infuriating, was one he had to force himself to accept!
For now, the most important thing was not this woman but to achieve results as soon as possible! As for this woman... even if she currently didn’t mind him, so what? There’s a long future ahead... one day, he would conquer her and then toss her aside to vent his resentment!
Thinking this, Gu Qingqian curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile, "You’re right, I misunderstood you before."
Mu Yiliang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s good that you understand... So, I’ll move my stuff back now. If you have tasks for me, just assign them. I won’t be negligent with work, rest assured!"
Gu Qingqian’s smile still carried a tinge of coldness as he nodded slightly, "I’ve been offensive before, and I apologize."
"No, no, it was my inappropriate actions," Mu Yiliang sincerely took the blame upon herself.
The previously unpredictable Young Master Gu was a bit difficult, but now with his change in style, he made her feel even more uneasy.
Gu Qingqian coldly watched her as she went about moving her belongings by herself.
Then, he downed the cup of cold coffee on the table in one gulp!
******
Young Master Gu finally stopped targeting her.
He no longer forced her to work overtime, and as long as she completed her tasks excellently, he would generally wave her off in a carefree manner.
In a normal state, Gu Qingqian was still quite generous, though he assigned heavy tasks, he was generous and had great ideas. When pulling them into overtime, he was always the last to leave.
Over time, everyone became quite impressed with him.
Although he was a spoiled rich kid, he was definitely not a fool.
Mu Yiliang continued her leisurely days until one day, when she arrived at the office, she was grabbed by Ms. Zhao.
"Yiliang, I finally found a man whose conditions are great in all aspects. I’ve also told him about Xiaoze, but he said it’s not a problem!" Ms. Zhao spoke excitedly, "You must meet him tonight!"
